Farm to Fork

Grain Farms

We’re working to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions 25% by 2025, starting with the grain we purchase to feed our animals.

Hog Farms

As a leader in animal care, we ensure that our animals are safe, comfortable, and healthy while protecting the environment on and around our hog farms.

Processing Facilities

Our sustainability program is ingrained in our operations, making responsibility an integral part of our company culture.

Storage & Distribution

Customer service, food safety, and environmental-impact reduction are our top priorities when it comes to storing, transporting, and chilling our products.

Customers

We are the #1 U.S. pork supplier to retail, foodservice, and export customers and supply more than 5,700 retailers, restaurants, and food service companies in more than 43 countries.

Consumers

Today’s consumers want to know where their food comes from and how it was made. We take pride in our ongoing commitment to transparency from farm to facility to fork.

Grain Production

By the end of 2018, 75% of the feed grain we purchase will be grown using efficient fertilizer and soil health practices. We’re working with farmers to improve their yields while finding ways to optimize fertilizer use and minimize related runoff on their farms. We have also helped farmers make the switch to lower-input crops, such as sorghum—steps that have multiple environmental benefits
